Greetings Bermuda Educators!
Once again, we are pleased to offer exciting hands-on learning experiences that complement your classroom lessons! A field trip to Dolphin Quest will provide a unique opportunity to create real-life connections to the curriculum set forth by the Ministry of Education.
Use a trip to visit the dolphins at Dolphin Quest as a tool to teach your curriculum or reward students for their hard work. And to further your experience, select our ‘dolphin touch’ option where your students go onto the docks and actually meet the dolphins during our dolphin demonstration! A visit to Dolphin Quest is guaranteed to be a ‘whale’ of a good time!
Dolphin Quest is committed to our local communities, as we touch hearts and minds through fun and innovative experiences. As a part of the ocean ecosystem, it is our job to help protect and preserve the valuable resources we see each and every day. Learn with us the best ways to make a positive difference to the ocean and the animals that live within their depths.
Whether you wish to visit us at Dolphin Quest, coordinate a beach cleanup with your students or ask us to participate in your school-wide event, we look forward to sharing in your students’ experience this year!
